GOVERNING WITHOUT A MAJORITY: After his treasonous 1987 coups, Rabuka has never governed Fiji in his own right - always hostage to other political parties for his Government's survival.
No wonder RABUKA SHOOTS FROM THE HIP, WITH SLIP UP TALKS

"The Prime Minister's comments about me losing my cabinet seat but remaining as a backbencher in parliament is strange and bewildering because I hold a position that SODELPA agreed to, whereby we were assigned 3 ministerial positions which is part of the Coalition Agreement following the People’s Alliance Party's approach to SODELPA."
ASERI RADRODRO, Minister for Education
The Prime Minister's comments about me losing my cabinet seat but remaining as a backbencher in parliament is strange and bewildering because I hold a position that SODELPA agreed to, whereby we were assigned 3 ministerial positions which is part of the Coalition Agreement following the People’s Alliance Party's approach to SODELPA.
Those are the comments of Minister for Education, Aseri Radrodro following comments made by Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka on fijivillage Straight Talk With Vijay Narayan on why he was earlier intending to change the Education Minister.
Radrodro says the Prime Minister’s comments can only happen if SODELPA agrees to such a situation where it would have to first determine his performance.
The Minister says he is comfortable that SODELPA’s management board, which he has a lot of respect for, will be able to determine his work ethics and outputs, and will know how to handle any concerns raised to it according to law.
Radrodro says as it stands, he hopes that everyone will uphold the coalition agreement and lead without malice.
The Minister for Education adds he is a party man, and for him, his loyalty is to SODELPA and the people of Fiji, and until SODELPA says otherwise, he will be loyal and serve the Coalition Government faithfully and to his best.
Radrodro says the Prime Minister has made some comments about his work performance, and obviously he cannot discuss it in public, given that they have a ministerial code of conduct and confidentiality, which they all must abide by.
However Radrodro says he must make it known that the responsibility of his role as a Minister weighs heavily on his conscience each day and given he is guided by the Education Act that provides for what he is empowered to do or not to do as a line Minister.
In his response, Radrodro says he does his best to be diligent, fair, consultative and responsive to all the stakeholders especially the children, teachers, parents, guardians and school management including the teacher unions and associated institutions.
He says if he has fallen below that standard at any time, then he appreciates being advised accordingly, which he accepts as constructive criticism, allowing him to take corrective measures where mandated by law.
The Minister says he thanks the people for their steadfast faith, and he asks that we all continue to pray for our nation and its leaders.

Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka says a clearance given by the court does not mean suspended Police Commissioner Brigadier General Sitiveni Qiliho will be reinstated.
While responding to questions on fijivillage Straight Talk With Vijay Narayan, Rabuka says the matter will be brought up in the next Constitutional Offices Commission meeting
When questioned what the next step will be as Qiliho is suspended, Rabuka says the next step will be termination according to the contract.
Meanwhile, FijiFirst MP Jone Usamate says Rabuka made the statement that the next option was to terminate Qiliho and he thinks this was a drastic thing to say even before a tribunal to be called.
While speaking during a press conference, he says this is not fair and it is not the way it works and if there is a case, it should go through the tribunal which makes the decision and not for the Prime Minister to say that he will be terminated.
Usamate says this means that the decision has already been made and he hopes that its not.
He says when you attack the constitution, you attack democracy and when you attack the institution, you attack democracy. FijiFirst MP Viliame Naupoto says it is almost a year since the Police Commissioner, Corrections Commissioner, Chief Justice and DPP have been suspended on full pay and now there are people who are being paid to act on the job.
He says a tribunal has been appointed and being paid for nothing.
Naupoto is urging the government to serve the people and not survive.
